This vast camp is the core of guarding Lingyang and guarding the southern border of Yan. It is stationed with 25,000 city guards and 5,000 cavalry, which can be said to be a strong force.
After nightfall, the camp became much quieter. Most of the soldiers entered the barracks early to rest. Only the security soldiers patrolled back and forth in the camp. There was a tall archery tower erected behind the camp wall, and a few elite archers stood on it holding bows.
With the arrow on his back, he used the light of the torch to scan the surroundings vigilantly.
The city of Lingyang has not been very peaceful in the past few days. The guard camp has been raised to a higher alert level. Ordinary people dare not approach it at all. Otherwise, they will be shot and killed and they will have nowhere to complain.
But at this moment, two steps away from the barracks door, there were several armored samurai swordsmen standing in line, and everyone's eyes were focused on the three old men in front.
The leading old man in gray robe has a clear, gentle and elegant face. He looks like an ordinary person, but he has a majestic and imposing manner, which is completely different from that of the two companions beside him.
Xu Jingye, the current guard of Lingyang City, is a great scholar in the dynasty!
They had been waiting here for almost an hour. Seeing that there was no movement in the city, Xie Ling, the old man in gray robe on the right, couldn't help but said: "Why hasn't the news come yet? Could it be that Yun Xiaochu is missing? What if he
If we cannot kill Shangguan Wuya, we will be in big trouble!"
The black-robed old man on the left, Ouyang Changtian, glanced at him and said calmly: "Why panic! Since Qin Yun dares to take over this matter, he must be sure of it. Besides, even if we can't kill Shangguan Wuya, we must follow the plan.
To seize the guard camp, we have to fire the arrow on the string, we have no retreat!"
Although he said this, Ouyang Changtian didn't have much confidence in whether Qin Yun could succeed. After all, Shangguan Wuya had been famous for a long time and was powerful. It would be so easy to kill him.
Xie Ling swallowed and said nothing more.
However, Xu Jingye slowly said: "I believe in little friend Qin Yun!"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright flame exploded from the sky in the direction of the city center, which was extremely eye-catching!
"Great, Qin Yun got it!"
Xie Ling was so surprised that she couldn't help but clapped her hands and cheered loudly.
Ouyang Changtian was extremely shocked. He really didn't expect that Qin Yun could successfully kill Shangguan Wuya.
In his plan, as long as Qin Yun can severely injure Shangguan Wuya, it will be an excellent result.
Now of course it is perfect!
Xu Jingye took a long breath and showed excitement on his face, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
Under the leadership of three people, several warriors moved towards the guard camp like a tide.
The soldiers on guard on the camp walls and arrow towers immediately noticed their arrival. One of the officers shouted sternly: "Who are they? They actually attacked the Guards camp. Do you want to rebel?"
Xie Ling immediately broke out of the formation, rushed to the front of the gate first, and shouted loudly: "Shangguan Wuya collaborated with the Shangguan family to conspire with the enemy, and took over the guard camp on the orders of Master Xu Jingye, the defender of Lingyang City. Anyone who dares to block it will be punished."
Rebellion will be punished without mercy!"
The sound he roared with his true energy was comparable to thunder, and the entire Guards camp could hear it clearly.
The officer was shocked and angry, and shouted: "You are deceiving the public with your evil words! How could Sir Shangguan collaborate with the enemy to rebel? I think it is you who want to rebel. Come on, give it to me."
Is there any exit for the last "kill"? A samurai next to him suddenly became angry and suddenly cut off his head with a sword!
This time, the Shui family, the Xie family, and the Ouyang family joined forces to fight back in a desperate situation. Capturing the Wei army camp was the top priority. How could there not be a secret back-up plan? The power of the three families is not small, and they naturally have insiders in the Wei army.
"Open the city gate to welcome Mr. Xu!"
Xu Jingye was ordered by the empire to guard Lingyang, and nominally had the power to command the guards. However, Shangguan Wuya had previously firmly held military power, and he was too weak to intervene.
But now that Shangguan Wuya has been killed, he can justifiably take over the guard camp.
Xie Ling and Ouyang Changtian performed Qinggong and jumped onto the camp wall at the same time to assist the internal officers in killing the soldiers loyal to the Shangguan family. After a brief period of chaos, the gate of the camp was quickly opened.
Several heavily armed family warriors immediately swarmed in and took over key positions!
The entire guard camp suddenly fell into blood and fire. Many officers who were loyal to Shangguan Wuya jumped out and tried to summon soldiers to fight out, but they were all mercilessly slaughtered.
"The Shangguan family intends to collude with Dachu to present the city for glory. Mr. Xu Jingye has obtained the evidence!"
"Shangguan Wuya has been beheaded to commit suicide. Those who rebelled against him should just wake up and forget the past!"
"The Great Chu Flying Tiger Army is several miles away, we must not let the traitor's conspiracy succeed!"
The attack by the three families came very suddenly and quickly. The guard camp was completely unprepared. The absence of Shangguan Wuya, who was the backbone, made the group leaderless. In addition, the two deputy commanders supported Xu Jingye, so the sporadic resistance was quickly suppressed.
The most important thing is that the shouts of the family warriors played a huge role. Most of the guardsmen were locals from Lingyang. They were willing to give their lives to defend their homeland. How could they sacrifice their lives for the rebels?
Although most people still don't know the truth of the matter, they still have a minimum of respect and trust for Xu Jingye, who represents the authority of the empire, so resistance has become a choice for a few people.
In just half an hour, all the resistance in the guard camp was suppressed. Dozens of Shangguan family officers were killed on the spot. Xu Jingye was able to successfully control the 30,000 city guards.
Before the people's hearts settled down, the first thing he did was to promote the deputy commander sent by the empire to the commander-in-chief. At the same time, he sent a reliable elite force to guard the city gate. In addition, he dispatched a cavalry army to rush to Shangguan's house.
mansion
Assassinating Shangguan Wuya is the first step in the joint operation of the three families, taking over the guard camp is the second step, and the last step is undoubtedly to uproot the entire Shangguan family to eliminate the biggest internal trouble in fighting the invasion of the Chu army!
After a short and rapid reorganization, a group of thousands of elite cavalry rushed out of the camp.
The roar of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the streets, and the burning torches formed a long red dragon, heading straight towards the city. The whole city trembled under the trampling of the iron cavalry!
In the city, Shangguan Mansion
The Shangguan family's mansion is located in the center of Lingyang City. At first, it was just a small courtyard with two front and back entrances. However, with the rise of the family, it has been continuously expanded and now covers an area of dozens of acres.
This is the core center of the Shangguan family, the foundation of thousands of clan members, and no one has been able to shake it for decades.
But tonight, everything becomes different. The three streets surrounding Shangguan Mansion are all blocked. Warriors with strong bows and crossbows occupy vantage points on the treetops of the high walls. Swordsmen in black costumes roam around, and the air
There is a tense atmosphere
In the lobby of the inner courtyard of Shangguan Mansion, the important figures of the Shangguan family gathered together. They were frightened and angry about what happened outside. Everyone's eyes were focused on Shangguan Wuji.
For decades, Shangguan Wuji has always been the mainstay of the family. As long as he is around, people's hearts will always be there.
Although he was surrounded by people outside the mansion, Shangguan Wuji remained calm and calm as usual. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea calmly. He sneered: "I underestimated some people. It seems that our affairs
It has been exposed, so we can only move forward!"
The people who can stand here are all the core and senior members of the family. Naturally, they know what the Shangguan family is planning. Everyone is definitely in the same boat.
Seeing that Shangguan Wuji was so calm, most people were relieved. They must know that what they were doing was a major rebellion, and if they failed, they would definitely die without a burial place!
Shangguan Aoyang said: "I don't know if anything happened to my second uncle."
Shangguan Wuji glared at his son and said, "What can happen to your second uncle's town guard camp? I have sent people out to inform him. When he comes back with the army, he will naturally kill all the rebels!
"
"My lord, my lord is not good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bloody warrior staggered into the lobby, rolled and crawled down in front of Shangguan Wuji, and cried: "Master Wuya was assassinated in Wanhua Tower.
!”
"What!?"
Shangguan Wuji was immediately shocked, the tea cup fell from inside, and the hot tea spilled all over the floor.
His face turned purple, and he grabbed the other person's chest, pulled him over and asked fiercely: "What's going on? Who killed my second brother!"
As the eldest brother, Shangguan Wuji knows Shangguan Wuya’s strength best. How could a high-level innate strong man be easily assassinated?
Everyone else in the lobby was stunned. They also couldn't believe their ears.
Shangguan Wuya is dead? How is this possible!
The warrior who came to report the news cried loudly: "Sir, Master Wuya was besieged by many high people. Our brothers tried our best but could not rescue him. I"
Suddenly, the grief on his face turned into a ferocious expression, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
Shangguan Wuji instinctively sensed something was wrong, but before he could react, a blue dagger stabbed his abdomen silently, piercing the body's protective energy and piercing into his flesh and blood!
"You" Shangguan Wuji didn't expect that the other party turned out to be an assassin, and he was caught off guard and was suddenly attacked.
Bang!
A figure flew past the two of them like lightning, and slapped the warrior's head heavily with his palms.
The warrior was about to pierce the entire dagger body into Shangguan Wuji's body with more force, when his head suddenly exploded, and red blood mixed with white brains flew everywhere! -
Welcome. A figure flew over to the two of them like lightning, and slapped the warrior's head hard with his palm.
The warrior was about to pierce the entire dagger body into Shangguan Wuji's body with more force, when his head suddenly exploded, and red blood mixed with white brains flew everywhere!
